The UN Information Service provides comprehensive meeting summaries of the sessions of the Human Rights Council, the human rights treaty bodies, and the Conference on Disarmament. These summaries, delivered in English and French by press officers and editors, are promptly sent within two hours of the final gavel to the media, Permanent Missions, NGOs, academia, and the public. They can also be found on the UN Geneva and OHCHR websites.
To ensure that we are meeting the needs of our audiences, we are inviting you to participate in a short assessment. The survey takes only a few minutes to complete. It will be open from February 20th to April 7th, 2023.
Your input is highly valued and appreciated.
